Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of implied warranties or liability for incidental or consequential damages so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to licensee.
Page 5 Within the warranty period, Garmin will, at its sole discretion, repair or replace any components that fail in normal use. Such repairs or replacement will be made at no charge to the customer for parts and/or labor incidental to the direct repair of said product. Garmin may, at its discretion with prior approval, reimburse an authorized Garmin Service Center for associated labor costs incurred for removal and replacement of the panel mount product installed in an aircraft.
Page 6 Terrain data is obtained from third party sources. Garmin is not able to independently verify the accuracy of the terrain data. The displayed minimum safe altitudes (MSAs) are only advisory in nature and should not be WARNING: relied upon as the sole source of obstacle and terrain avoidance information.
Page 7 The GPS system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment. Portions of the Garmin G1000 utilize GPS as a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID). Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs, information presented by the G1000 can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.
Page 8 ANTI-REFLECTIVE COATING. It is very important to clean the lens using a clean, lint-free cloth and an eyeglass lens cleaner that is specified as safe for anti-reflective coatings. The Garmin G1000 does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Repairs should only be made by CAUTION: an authorized Garmin service center.

Figure 2-18 Course Deviation Indicator The CDI can display two sources of navigation, GPS or VOR/LOC. The color indicates the current navigation source, magenta for GPS and green for VOR and LOC. The full scale limits for the CDI are defined by a GPS- derived distance when navigating GPS. When navigating using a VOR or localizer (LOC), the CDI uses the same angular deviation as a mechanical CDI. If the CDI exceeds the maximum deviation on the scale (two dots) while navigating with GPS, the crosstrack error (XTK) is displayed below the white aircraft symbol.

Page 75 Cycles through Navigation Sources Figure 2-20 Selecting a Navigation Source The system automatically switches from GPS to LOC navigation source and changes the CDI scaling accordingly when all of the following occur: • A localizer or ILS approach has been loaded into the active flight plan. • The final approach fix (FAF) is the active leg, the FAF is less than 15 nm away, and the aircraft is moving toward the FAF. • A valid localizer frequency has been tuned. • The GPS CDI deviation is less than 1.2 times full-scale deflection. GPS steering guidance is still provided after the CDI automatically switches to LOC until LOC capture, up to the Final Approach Fix (FAF) for an ILS approach, or until GPS information becomes invalid. Activating a Vector-to-Final (VTF) also causes the CDI to switch to LOC navigation source. GPS steering guidance is not provided after the switch. 190-00962-02 Rev.

The age of the product is based on the time difference between when the data was assembled on the ground and the current GPS time. Weather products are refreshed at specific intervals (defined in the Refresh Rate column in Table 6-1). If for any reason, a weather product is not refreshed within the Expiration Time intervals (see Table 6-1), the data is considered expired and is removed from the display. This ensures that the displayed data is consistent with what is currently being provided by the SiriusXM Weather service. If more than half of the expiration time has elapsed, the color of the product age displayed changes to yellow. The system displays dashes instead of a product age when a product has expired. If a weather product is not available, the system displays ‘N/A’ instead of a product age. Table 6-1 shows the weather product symbols, the expiration times and the refresh rates. The refresh rate represents the interval at which SiriusXM Weather services broadcasts new signals that may or may not contain new weather data. It does not represent the rate at which weather data is updated or new content is received by the Data Link Receiver. Weather data is updated at intervals that are defined and controlled by SiriusXM and its data suppliers and are subject to change.

Page 301 Reflectivity is the amount of transmitted power returned to the radar receiver. Colors on the NEXRAD display are directly correlative to the level of detected reflectivity. Reflectivity as it relates to hazardous weather can be very complex. The role of radar is essentially to detect moisture in the atmosphere. Simply put, certain types of weather reflect radar better than others. The intensity of a radar reflection is not necessarily an indication of the weather hazard level. For instance, wet hail returns a strong radar reflection, while dry hail does not. Both wet and dry hail can be extremely hazardous. The different NEXRAD echo intensities are measured in decibels (dB) relative to reflectivity (Z). NEXRAD back to measures the radar reflectivity ratio, or the energy reflected the radar receiver (designated by the letter Z). The value of Z increases as the returned signal strength increases.

The age of the product is based on the time difference between when the data was assembled on the ground and the current GPS time. Weather products are refreshed at specific intervals (defined in the Refresh Rate column in Table 6-10). If for any reason, a weather product is not refreshed within the Expiration Time intervals (see Table 6-10), the data is considered expired and is removed from the display. This ensures that the displayed data is consistent with FIS-B broadcast data. If more than half of the expiration time has elapsed, the color of the product age displayed changes to yellow. The system displays dashes instead of a product age when a product has expired. If a weather product is not available or has not been received, the system displays ‘N/A’ instead of a product age.

Page 364 FIS-B regional radar precipitation is based on WSR-88D, or NEXRAD (NEXt-generation RADar), a network of high-resolution Doppler radar systems that are operated by the National Weather Service (NWS). The maximum range of a single NEXRAD radar site is 250 nm. In addition to a wide array of services, the NEXRAD network provides important information about severe weather and air traffic safety. Radar precipitation data is not real-time. The lapsed time between collection, processing, and dissemination of composite radar images can be significant and may not reflect the current radar synopsis. Due to the inherent delays and the relative age of the data, it should be used for long-range planning purposes only. Never use NEXRAD data or any radar data to penetrate hazardous weather. Rather, use it in an early-warning capacity of pre-departure and enroute evaluation. Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Diamond DA42NG 190-00-00962-02 Rev. A...

Page 372: Airborne Color Weather Radar
Airborne weather radar should be used to avoid severe weather, not for penetrating severe weather. The decision to fly into an area of radar targets depends on target intensity, spacing between the targets, aircraft capabilities, and pilot experience. Pulse type weather radar detects only precipitation, not clouds or turbulence. The display may indicate clear areas between intense returns, but this does not necessarily mean it is safe to fly between them. Only Doppler radar can detect turbulence. Airborne weather radar has other capabilities beyond weather detection. It also has the ability to detect and provide distance to cities, mountains, coastlines, rivers, lakes, and oceans.

Page 374 Never fly into these shadowed areas and never assume that all of the heavy precipitation is being displayed unless another cell or a ground target can be seen beyond the heavy cell. The WATCH ® feature of the GWX 68 Weather Radar system can help in identifying these shadowed areas. Areas in question appear as shadowed or gray on the radar display. Proper use of the antenna tilt control can also help detect radar shadows. Attenuation can also be due to poor maintenance or degradation of the radome. Even the smallest amount of wear and scratching, pitting, and pinholes on the radome surface can cause damage and system inefficiency.

Page 376 The angle at which the radar beam strikes the target is called the Angle of Incidence. The figure illustrates the incident angle (‘A’). This directly affects the detectable range, the area of illumination, and the intensity of the displayed target returns. A large incident angle gives the radar system a smaller detectable range and lower display intensity due to minimized reflection of the radar energy. Figure 6-112 Angle of Incidence A smaller incident angle gives the radar a larger detectable range of operation and the target display shows a higher intensity. Since more radar energy is reflected back to the antenna with a low incident angle, the resulting detectable range is increased for mountainous terrain.

Page 377: Safe Operating Distance
9.16 ft. for 10” antenna Figure 6-113 MPEL Boundary BASIC ANTENNA TILT SETUP The following discussion is a simple method for setting up the weather radar antenna tilt for most situations. It is not to be considered an all encompassing setup that works in all situations, but this method does provide good overall parameters for the monitoring of threats. Ultimately, it is desired to have the antenna tilted so the bottom of the radar beam is four degrees below parallel with the ground. The following example explains one way of achieving this. With the aircraft flying level, adjust the antenna tilt so ground returns are displayed at a distance that equals the aircraft’ s current altitude (AGL) divided by 1,000. For example, if the aircraft is at 14,000 feet, adjust the tilt so the front edge of ground returns are displayed at 14 nautical miles. Note this antenna tilt angle setting. Now, raise the antenna tilt 6 degrees above this setting. The bottom of the radar beam is now angled down 4º from parallel with the ground. Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Diamond DA42NG 190-00962-02 Rev. A...
Page 378 Therefore, with the antenna tilt set so that the bottom of the beam is four degrees below parallel with the ground, a target return at 10 nm is approximately 4,000 feet below the aircraft; at 20 nm, 8,000 feet; at 50 nm, 20,000 feet. In other words, at this tilt setting, a ground return (such as a mountain peak) being displayed at 10 nm would have a maximum distance below the aircraft of 4,000 feet. A ground target return being displayed at 5 nm would have a maximum distance below the aircraft of 2,000 feet. This setup provides a good starting point for practical use of the GWX 68. There are many other factors to consider in order to become proficient at using weather radar in all situations. Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Diamond DA42NG 190-00-00962-02 Rev. A...

50 dBZ and greater > 2 Table 6-13 Precipitation Intensity Levels hunDeRstoRms Updrafts and downdrafts in thunderstorms carry water through the cloud. The more severe the drafts, the greater the number and size of the precipitation droplets. With this in mind, the following interpretations can be made from what is displayed on the weather radar. Avoid these areas by an extra wide margin. • In areas where the displayed target intensity is red or magenta (indicating large amounts of precipitation), the turbulence is considered severe. • Areas that show steep color gradients (intense color changes) over thin bands or short distances suggest irregular rainfall rate and strong turbulence. • A reas that show red or magenta are associated with hail or turbulence, as well as heavy precipitation. Vertical scanning and antenna tilt management may be necessary to identify areas of maximum intensity. Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Diamond DA42NG 190-00962-02 Rev. A...

Page 381 Hail results from updrafts carrying water high enough to freeze. Therefore, the higher the top of a thunderstorm, the greater the probability that it contains hail. Vertically scanning the target return can give the radar top of a thunderstorm that contains hail. Radar top is the top of a storm cell as detected by radar. It is not the actual top, or true top of the storm. The actual top of a storm cell is seen with the eyes in clear air and may be much higher than the radar top. The actual top does not indicate the top of the hazardous area. Hail can fall below the minimum reflectivity threshold for radar detection. It can have a film of water on its surface, making its reflective characteristics similar to a very large water droplet. Because of this film of water, and because hail stones usually are larger than water droplets, thunderstorms with large amounts of wet hail return stronger signals than those with rain. Some hail shafts are extremely narrow (100 yards Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Diamond DA42NG 190-00962-02 Rev. A...

Page 391: Ground Mapping And Interpretation
GROUND MAPPING AND INTERPRETATION A secondary use of the weather radar system is for the presentation of terrain. This can be a useful tool for verifying aircraft position. A picture of the ground is represented much like a topographical map that can be used as a supplement to the navigation map on the MFD. Ground Map mode uses a different gain range than Weather mode. Different colors are also used to represent the intensity levels. The displayed intensity of ground target returns are defined in the table below. Use of the GAIN and TILT controls help improve contrast so that specific ground targets can be recognized more easily. As previously discussed, the type and orientation of the target in relation to the aircraft affects the intensity displayed. When the weather radar system is in either the Weather or Ground Map mode, the system automatically switches to Standby mode upon landing.

Note that all obstructions may not be available in the terrain and obstacle database. No terrain and obstacle information is shown without a valid 3-D GPS position. The G1000 GPS receiver provides the horizontal position and altitude. GPS altitude is derived from satellite position. GPS altitude is then converted to the height above geodetic sea level (GSL), which is the height above mean sea level calculated geometrically. GSL altitude is used to determine terrain and obstacle proximity. GSL altitude accuracy is affected by satellite geometry, but is not subject to variations in pressure and temperature that normally affect pressure altitude sensors. GSL altitude does not require local altimeter settings to determine MSL altitude. It is a widely-used MSL altitude source. Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Diamond DA42NG 190-00-00962-02 Rev. A...

Page 434: Uat (Ads-B) Traffic
UAT systems, such as the GDL 90, represent one component of the ADS-B system. UAT technology is intended primarily for aircraft operating below 18,000 feet. No ground infrastructure is necessary for a UAT- equipped aircraft to detect another nearby aircraft transmitting on the UAT frequency. A second component of the ADS-B system are 1090 MHz Extended Squitter (1090 ES) transponders. The 1090 ES system is intended primarily for aircraft operating at or above 18,000 feet. 1090 ES transponders broadcast aircraft position reports comparable to UAT reports, but on the 1090 MHz (Mode S) frequency. An aircraft broadcasting a 1090 ES report may detect other nearby 1090 ES traffic without ground infrastructure, provided the aircraft has ADS-B In capability needed to display 1090 ES traffic. It is important to note, however, that UAT-only aircraft and 1090 ES-only aircraft cannot detect each other directly without the presence of a GBT. The GBT receives both UAT and 1090 ES reports, and then broadcasts the combined traffic data for both UAT and 1090 ES aircraft within line-of-sight reception of the UAT. This GBT service is known as ADS-Rebroadcast (ADS-R). The GBTs also provide this traffic data to air traffic control (ATC) facilities.

Page 435 The traffic displays are not intended to be used as a collision avoidance system and the system not relieve the pilot’ s responsibility to “see and avoid” other aircraft. The traffic displays must not be used for avoidance maneuvers during IMC or other times when there is no visual contact with the intruder aircraft. The ADS-B system is intended only to assist in visual acquisition of other aircraft. It does not provide avoidance maneuvers. TRAFFIC DESCRIPTION UAT traffic operation is similar to the TAS system discussed previously in section 6.10, with the exception of symbology. The system displays the traffic using the symbols shown in the table below. Above or below the traffic symbol is the traffic identifier, and altitude (if available). A small up or down arrow next to the traffic symbol indicates that the traffic is climbing or descending at a rate of at least 500 feet per minute. The vector line that extends beyond the point of the traffic arrow is just further indication of the intruder aircraft track, if directional information is available.
